⌘ Background: Wave Propagation

Calculation of a plane wave, proove that Z_0 = ... = E_x/H_y


Cylindrical, plane and spherical wave

⌘ Task: Plane wave propagation

Assume a plane wave: . Show that

What is the relation between a plane wave and an omnidirectional wave?


⌘ Free space propagation

develop propagation equation, see (http://www.antenna-theory.com/basics/friis.php)

  • convert into dB
  • provide examples for f = 10 MHz, 1 GHz, 100 GHz
  • discuss influences on radiation pattern

Free space attenuation

Calculation of free space attenuation. Note the increased free-space attenuation of approx 5 dB from 900 to 1800 Unik/MHz, and a further increase of 3 dB from 1800 (GSM 1800) to 2450 Unik/MHz (802.11b). Note also that increasing the distance by a factor of 10 will increase the power requirements by 20 dB.
